Both were in rare form. Ayres, righthander, down from the New York Giants, throttled the Tribe tters and helu them to three hits. all singles. Hé fanned seven and issued only two walks. . Although the home team lost, Ayres is entitled to a lot of superAative adjectives. It was the Indians’ 79th game and he threw nine innings of ciphers, something special when opposing the Tribe's gallant crew of leading wielders. bat was only his fourth victory against five defeats for the fifthplace Millers, buc in their two games here the Mill City aggregation looked better than their position in the league standings.

§ Looks Like Braves World Series

Boston Increases NL Lead to 3/2 Games While

Boudreau’s Boys Continue to Top American By CARL LUNDQUIST, United Press NEW YORK, July 3—What about an Indian World Series when Indian Summer comes up in October? That's the question folks were asking today in Boston and Cleveland and if things wind up on Oct. 3 as they are now on July 3, it will be Billy Sougbworth’s Braves against Lou Boudreau’s team in the biggest pow-wow since they opened the Cherokee strip.

Right now, the Braves looked like a little safer bet to be on the reservation come World Series time. They fattened their National League lead to 3'z games last night—widest that any team has enjoyed in either loop this season—when they scalped the Phils, 7 to 3, banging out 12 hits and capitalizing on four errors. Bob Hogue, who pitched two-hit relief bail for seven innings, was the victor; Bob Elliott's twg-run
